We often find ourselves caught in the cycle of knee-jerk reactions to the problems that families are experiencing today.

While some of these issues are not new, the stresses of living with endemic COVID-19 have brought these challenges to the fore.

State of the Family: Bigger, Deeper & Stronger with Family is an invitation-only virtual gathering that provides insights into current and forecasted trends impacting the Family.

We ask the question - how can we effectively provide help for those in need while equipping families to be future-ready?

Join us as we facilitate these critical conversations and develop strategies amongst thought leaders and practitioners to get ahead of the problems affecting Family today.
